Re: Send us your pants nominations

Two names that I think ought to be on the list are Bastien Nocera and 
Emmanuele Bassi. Both of them have been involved in the project for a 
long time and both go that extra mile. I think of them both as people 
who really believe in GNOME and work hard to make it a success.

Bastien does a lot of technical work in the background to keep GNOME 
working well. This work often goes unnoticed but I always get the 
impression that he really pushes hard to make the experience as good as 
it can be. In addition to technical work, he's previously served on the 
board, runs GNOME booths at events, has helped to restock the GNOME 
events box, and most recently has been trying to organise a GUADEC bid 
for Lyon.

Emmanuele has taken on some major technical initiatives which have been 
crucial to the project, first with Clutter and now with the GTK Scene 
Graph and Emeus. He's a former director, and he is involved in other 
initiatives that are important for the project, for example by carrying 
the continuous initiative.
